The age of the house decides the size
This is the thing nobody tells you. A remodel in a 2005 subdivision produces drywall, laminate, particleboard cabinets and PVC — light, bulky material where volume is your limit. The same remodel in a 1925 house produces plaster, lath, ceramic tile set in mortar, and cast-iron drain pipe. That material is dense enough to hit 2 tons at half the volume. Tell us roughly when the house was built and we'll size it for the debris you'll actually make.
Project-by-project sizing
A single bathroom gut: 15 yard, comfortably, unless it's an old house with tile and cast iron. A full kitchen including cabinets, counters and flooring: 20 yard. Flooring through the main level: 15 yard for carpet and laminate, 20 yard if you're pulling tile and its mortar bed. A basement finish-out where you're mostly hauling framing scrap and drywall: 15 yard. A whole-house renovation: plan on multiple pulls and let's talk about the sequence.
Sequence the container to the demo
The most expensive mistake on a remodel is having the dumpster arrive on day one and sit through a week of framing and finish work. Demo is fast and messy; the rest is slow and produces little. Schedule the container for demo week, take the 3-day rate at $325 or $375, and get it hauled while it's full rather than paying for it to be a parking obstacle.
Tile, mortar and the weight trap
Pulling ceramic or stone tile is the most common way a remodel goes overweight. The tile itself isn't the problem — the mortar bed and backer board are. If you're taking up a large tiled area, tell us the square footage before you book and we'll tell you whether to plan on a second pull. Overage is $75 per ton, which we publish precisely so you can avoid it.
Cabinets, counters and appliances
Cabinets and countertops go in the container without any trouble — break cabinets down rather than putting them in as boxes and you'll fit twice as many. Stone countertops are heavy, so count them in your weight estimate. Appliances are fine except anything with refrigerant still in it.
Contractors and DIY both welcome
About half our remodel containers go to homeowners doing it themselves and half to contractors. Either way you're calling a family that owns the trucks, not a broker that subcontracts your delivery to whoever answers.

How it works
- Call, text or book online. Tell us what the project is and roughly what's going in. We'll recommend a size rather than upsell one, and quote you a flat price on the spot.
- We deliver to your address. Often same or next day. We set boards under the rails on driveway placements and put the container where you're actually working, not just at the top of the drive.
- Fill it on your schedule. Three days or seven, whichever you booked. Load heavy flat items first and fill the gaps — most people who need a second container filled the first one with air.
- Tell us you're done. Call or text and we'll pick it up. If you're near the weight allowance, say so and we'll talk through the cheapest way to handle it before we haul.
Frequently asked questions
What size dumpster do I need for a kitchen remodel?
A 20 yard for a full kitchen — cabinets, counters, flooring and fixtures. A smaller cabinet-and-counter refresh without flooring often fits a 15 yard. If the house is pre-war, tell us: plaster and tile change the answer.
What about a bathroom remodel?
One bathroom usually fits a 15 yard. The exception is an older home with a mortar-bed tile floor and cast-iron tub and drain — that combination is dense enough to be worth a conversation before you book.
How much does a remodel dumpster cost?
15 yard: $325 for 3 days, $375 for 7 days. 20 yard: $375 for 3 days, $425 for 7 days. Delivery, pickup and 2 tons included; overage is $75 per ton.
Can I keep it longer than 7 days for a long renovation?
Call us before the rental ends and we'll work something out. On longer renovations it's usually cheaper to schedule the container for demo week and have it hauled full than to rent it across the whole project.
Can I put drywall and plaster in the dumpster?
Yes to both. Plaster is much heavier than drywall, so if you're gutting an older home, weight will be your limiting factor rather than volume.
